The firebox is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an approved 

vent-free gas logset. Have the line installed by a qualified service 

person in accordance with all building codes. Consult local building 

codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 3/8-inch 

hook-up at the unit. The state of Massachusetts requires that a 

flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox.

remove the indented knockout in the ceramic brick panel using a 

drill or utility knife.

When installing optional ceramic fiber side panels into firebox, 

lay panel on a flat surface. Remove the gas line knockout (round 

depression) in the appropriate side panel using a drill or utility 

knife.
Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log 

set rating plate. if the gas listed on the plate is not your type of 

gas supply, Do noT inSTaLL. Contact your dealer for proper 

model.

supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14" w.c. This is in addition 

to the regulator fitted to the log set.
